Being on prednisone for a year caused my husband to develop cataracts.

When I was on prednisone for rheumatoid arthritis I found it can also cause increased pressure and glaucoma. It’s tough getting diagnosed when you have a primary immune deficiency IFD is so informative! I have not been able to get fit now because of my chronic health problems and my insurance wouldn’t approve IVIG.
